Lone Oak Archery began in 2019. In the few years since its inception, our shooters have seen lots of improvement. Students in 7th-9th grades actively shoot in a class setting and have enjoyed Friday practices this year in preparation for tournaments.
Archery teaches teamwork, sportsmanship, focus, and self-discipline to our students. Our team relies on the generous donations from our sponsors. Your sponsorship supports our archers and helps to build character and responsibility. We use your sponsorship dollars to pay entry fees, buy team jerseys and to cover our expenses that we incur each year. Sponsorships are a one-time donation for the year. We have several different sponsorship levels available. If you are interested in supporting the archery program, complete a Sponsorship Form and return to Kathy Smith at the address provided. Sponsorships are welcomed year-round.
